Condition of the car was not the best: the frame completely decayed, rust had eaten the body thoroughly. But by some miracle still kept veteran.



- Remodel had everything - told. - Many had to work with welding.



Rama did not leave: a terrible state, and she was very outdated. Therefore, as a replacement has decided to establish a frame of UAZ-469, which gained just 500 thousand rubles. It is much stronger, but lighter and more easily handle the weight of the modern machines.

According to Oleg Nekrashevich such vehicles - our history, and throw them in the trash - not the best solution.



- GAZ-69 - a legendary Soviet jeep - gently running his hand on polished black wing, says Oleg Nekrashevich. - Uncompromising simple machine that is not afraid of any off-road, a soldier.

Collect GAZ, Oleg began two years ago. The car built for the soul, so the work went slowly, mainly in the evening.



- You know how it is: you come home from work, eat dinner, suddenly again - comes the idea, how to combine the winch razdatkoy. Everything you run into the garage to implement - smiling owner.

The only thing that did not like Oleg in the car - a four-door body.



- I want the car to be a two-door, so it was decided to transform the body almost immediately. New doors did not buy, just cut the old and made two of the four doors. Window frames taken from the UAZ-469 and also made one of the two, slightly elongated. Also added steel steps to facilitate the landing.

As the power plant was chosen three-liter diesel engine from the Mercedes W123.

- To buy the motor alone it was very expensive. Therefore, I decided to buy a diesel Mercedes-Benz W123 1982 issue of spare parts. Surprisingly, the car turned out to be tenacious, and I have traveled a few weeks, testing the engine.



Also 123rd borrowed gearbox, the pedal and brakes. Torque from the diesel crazy, but most importantly, it was possible through the intermediate shaft to connect it with the native razdatkoy GAZ-69. As a result, low gear machine, even at idle climb a steep hill.

In case of his GAZ-69 gets into the mud up to their 35-inch wheels, a winch is provided by the BTR-80. Her Oleg Nekrashevich placed in a specially designed box in the trunk. Moreover, the device suggests the possibility of towing winch on both the front and rear.

- Winch found quite by chance: a tank repair factory workers were taken to hand it to the metal, she was lying in a heap of scrap. Persuaded to sell, still carried the scrap. He brought to the garage, renovated, very useful thing, there was a case, stretched with it three-ton tractor trailer.



By car for better cross-cutting set of military bridges UAZ. Also borrowed from Ulyanovsk SUV power, or turn the steering wheel would be very, very difficult.

Suitable for your oil cooler design Oleg could not find, so he cooked.



To put the 35-inch tires, I had to seethe native disks, then the US tire stood as cast. Despite the impressive size, modernized GAZ-69 has good dynamics. On the highway it has a top speed of 90 km / h, average fuel consumption - 12 l / 100 km.



Oleg Nekrashevich this machine was not built for the competition, he said it was important the process of construction.
His dream, he embodied: GAZ-69 - a real point of pride and admiration for the owner of others.

that's all, thank you for your attention
